Hi, I am new to the site and have been reading through the posts and finding amazing supportive people. I was diagnosed with stage 3/4 ovarian cancer in 2007. I had extensive surgery and 7 cycles of carbo/taxol. This was followed by 14 months remission but then I relapsed and had another 6 cycles of the above. After 7 months in remission I relapsed again and am now on liposomal doxorubicin(Caelyx). I am feeling quite well at the moment but have a few questions and would value your comments.
Firstly...
